I was serving pancakes to the kids a couple days ago…Tallie tries to be polite but asks,”next time could you please make the pancakes a little flatter?”
So what, is the surface too uneven for you…I mean how much flatter can you get than a pancake anyways? Later I realized she meant that they were a little too “thick” for her liking. The funny things kids say sure get your imagination tumbling, though, as you work your way toward understanding their intended meaning. I start thinking of the flattened squirrel road kill we had seen the day before when we were walking. Now that critter was seriously flat. Maybe that’s what you mean by flat? Ha!
